Tenerife in October
Around 24 °C by day, sea 23.9 °C. Warm enough to swim. Quieter than the peak: 2 out of 5 against 3.
October is almost the island's best month for water: 23.9 °C against September's 24.1 °C. Air at 24 °C. The ocean warms more slowly than the land and gives the heat back later, so the warm water holds into October here.
And there are few people: load is 2 out of 5 — the summer visitors have gone and the winterers have not arrived. It is a window between two seasons about a month long. Santa Cruz scores 5 out of 5 for winter; a one-bedroom rents at €700, a two-bedroom at €950.

The winter column is a 1-to-5 score: how many cafés, hotels and shops run in January compared with the best month of the year. Where a village has no government figure of its own, it is our estimate. Tourists never notice; anyone who moved does.
Rain days and humidity are annual here, not monthly: 32 rainy days a year, 66% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
